The film centers on a mother's journey in a post-apocalyptic Britain, with a strong focus on her identity and struggles as a woman. The story leans heavily into themes of motherhood and female resilience, arguably at the expense of other character types and perspectives. Male characters are largely secondary and passive, which some viewers may find unbalanced or contrived.

Traditional family structures and masculine roles are largely sidelined, with religion and classic morality essentially nonexistent. The narrative seems more interested in the individual's inner journey than in upholding broader cultural or traditional norms, which could be seen as undermining foundational values.

Alternative perspectives or more traditional viewpoints are largely absent and underexplored. The narrative assumes a particular modern moral framework and rarely introduces dissent, debate, or ideological diversity. It’s fairly one-note in that regard, although not as overtly aggressive as some other works.
